OMG that is a moor.

I wouldn't expect those colors to remain that way for life.
if you follow me, you avoid stepping in the crap that I just did...

I think they really dropped the ball on this auction. Ended today & the site's been down ALL day!!! I've emailed them about this 3x.

Site's finally up & the auction is nowhere to be seen. Never got a notification about whether I won or were overbid. I don't think I'm buying this fish.

How exciting! I don't like goldfish but I must say he sure is gorgeous. A fish like that could change my mind about them.
It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.

I had this dream that your fish tank broke the day before your goldfish got there.
